A wonderfully presented rural barn with fine views.
The Property
Tithe Barn is a wonderfully positioned barn, part of a small collection of traditional conversions nestled in unspoilt countryside, yet with excellent accessibility to the A47 and wider Norfolk.
The barn was sympathetically converted to a high standard, with careful attention to detail to enhance the original features including timbers and mellow Norfolk brick. The character blends seamlessly with modern design, including a superb Bryan Turner kitchen, underfloor heating throughout, and high-quality fittings in all bathrooms.
A particular feature is the exceptional light and space the property enjoys. This is immediately apparent upon entering, where a entrance hall with glazed roof welcomes you through to the main open-plan living space with vaulted ceilings. This extensive area has an entirely comfortable feel to it, and offers a fantastic space for everyone to converge on, to entertain, or to simply enjoy. It is currently configured as a sitting room/dining room/kitchen but has a great adaptability, with features including a woodburner and subtle design highlights such as the kitchen sink with a lovely view over the gardens and countryside beyond. A more cosy room is located off this space, a family/tv room, with French doors out to the south facing courtyard and a useful utility room is near the rear door of the house, out to the main gardens.
The bedrooms are conveniently grouped together on the west side of the barn. All bedrooms are spacious double rooms, and with en suite shower rooms and with a principal bedroom with dressing area and particularly spacious bath/shower room. The bedrooms enjoy vaulted ceilings, and all with French doors out to the gardens.
Outside
Tithe Barn is located at the end of a long driveway, owned by the barn, that sweeps round to the gravelled parking area beside the useful double garage with pedestrian door and window. A wooden five bar gate opens up into a delightful and substantial south facing courtyard, enclosed by brick wall with a large paved terrace perfect for outside dining, with raised beds of buxus and olive trees. The main gardens are behind the barn, offering a wonderfully landscaped area with many points of interest. Immediately adjoining the house is paved terrace blending into a decked area, creating a significant space to enjoy and ideal for outside entertaining with pergolas and raised beds, and with great views across the large pond, lawns and countryside beyond. The pond, a haven for wildlife, is complete with two pontoons providing seating areas to watch the dragon flies and bird life from. The remaining land is an expanse of lawn, sweeping away from the house, with newly planted avenues of trees down to the most northern boundary adjoining farmland.

This is a great barn, the internal space is amazing, and is perfectly complimented by the surprisingly large gardens with idyllic pond.
